Bring your gun to Zion?

In states that allow open carry, people can openly carry legal handguns, rifles, shotguns and other firearms into state parks. They may carry concealed guns if allowed by state law.

For example, you can bring a firearm into Zion National Park, as long as you can legally possess one under Utah, federal and local law.
